River Cottage Baby and Toddler Cookbook

'This is a book about feeding children, but these recipes

are for adults too. I don't think there should be any sharp distinctions

between 'baby food', 'children's food' and 'grown-up food'. It's a spectrum the

whole family can be on, the food each person eats becoming a little more

sophisticated and seasoned as they mature.'



Nikki Duffy brings the River Cottage ethos to feeding

children, and shows that it's never too early to involve the youngest family

members in mealtimes. Her delicious seasonal purées and simple, wholesome

recipes put the needs and wants of babies and toddlers first, whilst offering

up dishes that will delight adults too. With clear advice on nutrition and

weaning, The River Cottage Baby & Toddler Cookbook is the perfect starting point for your child's great

food adventure.

Start the day with breakfasts like blueberry pancakes, apple muesli or

eggy bread, followed by simple and delicious meals like fishcakes,

meatballs, shepherd's pie, home-made pizza, falafel, mackerel pâté, pea

risotto or roasted fish with tomato sauce. Nice little puddings include

baby baked apples with chocolate, rhubarb crumble and a classic rice

pudding. With an introduction by Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall, this book will put real food on the table for the whole family to share.
